Best Songs About Time

Could be about time going by quick, slow, someone getting older.
The Top Ten
1 Time - Pink Floyd

Not a single song on this list comes close to this masterpiece. David Gilmour's assertive and aggressive voice along with Rick Wright's smooth, soft and wise voice make this song an incredible piece of genius.

The lyrics reflect the album's concept and builds it's own theme about time. The guitar work is nothing short of exceptional and the guitar solo is the icing on the top. There is a reason why this is the third most selling album of all time.

Time is even called "Time," so it is definitely about time.

"And then one day you find 10 years have got behind you, no one told you when to run"

2 Cats In the Cradle - Harry Chapin

About his son getting old quick, one of the best songs of all time.

I think this is a stick it to you song, my mom think's it's a sad song.

Tells a story about Neil getting old. "I've been first and last, look at how the time goes past"
